Hmmm I think all you will have is a higher gravity beer, though you may want to leave it in the barrel a bit longer to allow to mature.

Do you know what your gravity readings were at the beginning and end of fermentation?

I'm pretty sure if I'm wrong I will be corrected, though I wouldnt worry to much.

The only thing I can suggest is adding some spraymalt to beef it up.

You'd have to return it to the primary fermenter to avoid excessive yeast deposit in the barrel (although if you have another free barrel you could just rack it into that after the spraymalt has fermented out).

Arse, I thought you said you made 30 pints out of a 40 pint kit not other way round,

best advice is to ignore my suggestion just like my wife would

Or make a high gravity beer and blend the two.

Drink 1.33333 times as much of it as you would normally do in one session ?

Would that be a reoccurring solution?

I'll get me coat!

Just drink it, you'll have something closer to a porter but it will be fine.
